    So I have mostly been lurking and not posting around here lately because I've been super busy with work and school.  Thought I'd drop in to share my race report from my last half this past weekend.  Hate dealing with pictures here, so I started a blog to do race reports.   I hope y'all have been doing well!

          Hey!  Glad you came out of lurk-mode to share this report.  A first HM is an exciting race.  Sounds like you did really well, and passing all those people at the end must have felt exhilarating.  I'm on your side, it's great to end a race feeling strong and fast.  Congratulations to you (and your g/f on her first Full!)  Ouch, that bloody tee-shirt looks awful!  Makes me glad to be a girl!     Don't be a stranger, and good luck in your future running!

            Good job on your race and a very cool report. My wife and I just went down to New Orleans in October and loved it!

            Moving forward one step at a time :-)

                Congrats on your improvement. Sounds like you had a nice time, minus the tweaked foot.

                  Great job and congrats! Love that last mile pace. Smile Hope the foot isn't too serious.

                        Congratulations on the PR and the improvements you're making.  Those were some very nice splits.  That shirt looked awfully painful though!  Ouch.  Keep up the good work.
